NIGHT FROSH TO GIVE BANQUET Herrmann in Charge of Preparations.It is strange, indeed inexplicable, that our dear brethren of the Freshman class have been able to muster sufficient fortitude to announce to the world that they will gather at a banquet during the Carnival season. Especially it is perplexing when we consider that mid-year examinations have just terminated. Yet the report is founded on reliable sources. The night freshmen are not to be outdone. Two weeks ago, if Shakespeare himself had been present, he would have been astonished at the abundant supply of talent which the freshman class offered him as prototypes of the philosophical Hamlet. So to speak, they were "sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought," and meditating on the dire consequences of misfortunes, the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, a sea of troubles, and possessed of the conscience that makes cowards of us all. With the words of Lady Macbeth ringing in their oars—"Screw your courage to the sticking place and we'll not fail"—they have arrived exulting in their glory, as certain of success as of the calm which follows the storm. The preparations for the banquet are in the charge of an experienced and efficient committee which includes Messrs. Herrmann, Taylor, Scramuzza and Rodriguez. With these gentlemen in control it is assured that the affair will be both delightful and successful. Already a large number of the fresh- Mien have indicated their approval ol the function, which most likely will be staged at a downtown restaurant. The committee is bent on making elaborate preparations for the banquet in the way of an entertainment program, having scheduled members of the class for talks, toasts, tales, recitations and songs, with Mr. Herrmann acting in the capacity of toastmaster.

The words of Col. Dufour summed up the spirit that predominated at tin- banquet.li. S. Dantoni, chairman of the board of directors of the Loyola Athletic Council acted as toastmaster on the occasion.
